Application led December 8, i926. Serial No. 153,362.

llt is an objectof our invention to design a l container for multiple form record use which simple in its operation. Cur invent-ion will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in which like letters refer to like parts in the several views.

Fig. l shows a perspective view with a section of the outer cover removed. Fig. 2 shows a sectional side elevation through the plane .f-2. Fig. 3 shows an endcross section elevation through `the plane 3 3.

Referring to the drawings, the multiple folds of paper designated E are placed in the base container A on top of the carbon sheets C. The second or inner cover By has a slot opening S at the top near one endthrough4 which the continuous reel or fold of paper is threaded and extended along the top Q. The

r top Q we prefer to construct of some metallic substance, inasmuch as it forms the writing ba-se for the paper. After the multiple c opies of the folded. paperl E are threaded through S along'f the to Q ofthe cover B, provision is madefor ringing the carbon paper Cf out throughv the side slot F of the base A at the bottom,` around the outside of B, and between the folds off-E. y The slot T is cut in each of the three covers for'a thumb insertion to facilitateL threading the papers properly through the entire device. After the paper is threaded our final cover C is placed over the entire case. Cover C is provided with 'a rectangular opening O, so that :writing may be' placed on the paper forms E, also a slot or holes are provided at Lto enable the flexible hook J Iwith its point ed ends to protrude through the holes in the paper and hold it ina firm position. J is operated by the handle K, merely by pulling it up and down. Its other or rearward endis inserted between the inside cover C and the inside cover B`through a slot in C. It

may also be fastened by other suitable means. Also the cover C is provided with a protrusion extension G, preferably made of metallic material, so that the paper as it is drawn off may be torn or cut along the edge of G, while it is held in the proper position by the lugs of J protruding through the slot or holes L. Also the cover C is cut or slotted beneath the lug C to permit of the passa e of the paper folds to the outward side ofgthe container. Te also provide the indentations D in order to give more friction and rigidity to the several covers when they are in position. It will b-e seen that when our device is being operated the paper E may-be pulled from underneath the lug G by releasing the holder. J

until the next series of multiple forms is iny position, at' which time J ma be released for engagement through L and t e used portions of the forms torn olf along the lug G. After the container A is empty the covers B and C or B or C are readily removed to another container. The containers A holding the a base adapted to contain multiple fold continuous form paper togetherv with carbon sheets, acover slotted to permit of the withdrawal of said folded forms along its top surface said paper having slotted portion to permit 'of thev withdrawal .of said carbon A paper at its base, the whole enclosed by an outer cover having a writing above said forms outer cover.

In witness whereof we have hereunto accessopening provided in the top of said signedv our names this 20th day of August, f
